Mama and me matching rainbow socks

My first knit socks. Hers were first of course.


She took the above picture.

They are very comfy. They were knit on 2 circular needles, I learned from the book "Knitting Circles Around Socks" by Antje Gillingham. The book teaches sock knitting wonderfully, but the errors in the book are atrocious. I have actually since started knitting socks on dpns, which I prefer. The circular needle method requires, for my taste, far to much of the scooching of the stitches. But it is nice to finish both socks at the same time. Of course, you can do that anyway if you have two sets of dpns, if you are so inclined.
